Yes, no criminal offence has been committed in the peace bond context. If someone was actually convicted of an offence, a personal injury offence towards an intimate partner, that person would be looking at possibly a much longer sentence—possibly 10 years—depending on the context. However, here there has been no offence, and the purpose of the peace bond is to prevent an offence from possibly occurring.
The difference with the section 810 peace bond.... What this bill would add is that it would allow the peace bond to be extended longer than the regular section 810 peace bond. The regular section 810 peace bond right now doesn't allow for an extension of the peace bond.
The other thing that this bill would add, from my assessment of reading it, is that there would be more curated conditions that could be imposed that relate to domestic violence, such as treatment for domestic violence, counselling, electronic monitoring, and things like that, which are more connected to domestic violence. Therefore, there are more curated conditions with this new peace bond.
